Turkey or no Turkey?

@Keepitsimple turkey and lasagna for us. have never made a ham for Thanksgiving

My family is too big and everybody likes different things so we make a lot. It’s actually overwhelming and ridiculous and too much work. Within the next few years I hope to pass the baton and be on clean up duty full time. One year I actually booked a vacation over Christmas so I could get out of cooking alone and buying presents. I needed a break. @saragoodtimes

@Keepitsimple when I was small there were big family get togethers. I miss those times. now were spread out

@saragoodtimes I love my family but we are growing and nobody seems to be able to start new traditions. If I said I can’t make thanksgiving they would reschedule the whole family to come the following weekend. I know I sound awful but who cares, we see each other all the time.

@Keepitsimple I talk to my brother and sister all the time. miss our get togethers.. Alan is an only child so its just him and his Mom when we have family

@saragoodtimes our get together are anywhere from 20-30 people. It depends who brings girlfriends and boyfriends and people off the street. 🤦🏻‍♀️

@Keepitsimple Sundays at my Grandpas were like that. oh the memories of a big family

Loud and crazy! I do love my family though. I love to listen to stories and catch up just not the cooking part 😉.@saragoodtimes

@Keepitsimple wouldn't be an Italian get together without loud and crazy. when I was young someone had to get sauce on a white shirt to make it a real Italian gathering

That would be me, lol. I always spill 🙄@saragoodtimes

@Keepitsimple had to happen when everyone was dipping Italian bread in the sauce
